1. Restart ‘Hey Siri’ on iPhone
2. Restart your device
Sometimes, simply rebooting your phone can fix the issues. On iPhone 8 or later, press and release the volume up button → press and release the volume down button → press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. To reboot an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, press and hold the Volume down and Power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. On iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, or earlier iPhones, press and hold the Home button and Power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
3. Reset Network settings
4. Update iOS
5. Change Dictation settings on iPhone
If you already have the latest version of iOS installed, there’s a possibility that Siri might not be responding due to dictation not working on your iPhone or iPad.
6. Clean the microphone
Perhaps you find Siri not responding because it can’t hear you properly! Ensure that nothing is blocking the microphone of your iPhone or iPad. Clean off any dirt using cotton swabs. If you have isopropyl alcohol, it’s safe to use a bit on the cotton swabs to loosen any debris that may be blocking the microphone.
